Eurodollar Jun Contract (EC, ETF: (FXE, UUP))
Wednesday’s steep drop had fulfilled its minimum 1.1245 objective and also probed prior lows, but that didn’t prevent gapping down and extending lower. A second consecutive lower close Thursday creates the requirement for at least one more eventual lower close.
Gold Jun Contract (GC, ETF: (GLD))
Wednesday’s FOMC Minutes had triggered a break under the 1271.50 sell signal after close, and it extended lower overnight to attack the 1241.00 target to within $4 before bouncing. A lot of selling pressure was expended, but gapping down doesn’t gain much traction.

Crude Oil Jun Contract (CL, ETF: (USO, USL) (UWTI-long, DWTI-short))
Dipping overnight to gap down Thursday tested the 47.25 sell signal, but it wasn’t likely to trigger since a top had not completed. Thursday morning’s bounce nearly filled the gap back to Wednesday’s 48.08 close.
Natural Gas Jun Contract (NG, ETF: (UNG, UNL))
Thursday’s EIA report wasn’t greeted from a position of strength. Recovering its knee-jerk reaction down to 1.95 back above Monday’s 2.02 low would be the minimum requirement to begin sealing a bottom — Thursday afternoon tested Tuesday’s 2.05 close. Signaling a rally would still require closing above 2.11 and 2.14..
